Air Fried Chickpeas

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 can of Chickpeas

  15 oz or 425g
• 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
• ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
• ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
• ¼ teaspoon Paprika
• ¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

• 1 Open the can of chickpeas and drain all the liquid. Rinse the chickpeas
  thoroughly under cold water and drain again. Pat them dry using paper towels or
  a clean kitchen towel.
• 2 In a mixing bowl, combine the rinsed and dried chickpeas with 1 teaspoon of
  olive oil. Toss to coat the chickpeas evenly in the oil.
• 3 Sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt over the chickpeas.
  Toss the chickpeas again to ensure they are well coated with the seasoning.
• 4 Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
• 5 Once the air fryer is preheated, carefully place the seasoned chickpeas in the
  air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding, as this will ensure even
  cooking and crispy results.
• 6 Air fry the chickpeas at 390°F (200°C) for 14 minutes. Halfway through the
  cooking time (around 7 minutes), open the air fryer and shake the basket or
  gently stir the chickpeas to promote even cooking.
• 7 After 14 minutes, check the chickpeas for desired crispiness. If they are not as
  crispy as you'd like, you can air fry them for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• 8 Experiment with different seasonings such as cumin, chili powder, curry powder,
  or smoked paprika to create various flavor profiles.
• 9 For a touch of tanginess, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the chickpeas
  before serving.
